- This is a good reason for making the internal drive be target 3.
- Another good one is that on the SCSI bus, a higher-numbered target has
- priority over a lower number target when both contend for the bus. It
- sort of makes sense that the internal drive (on which the OS, at least
- some swap, and typically /tmp, reside) have a higher priority.
